Medieval church councils barred Jews and Muslims from public during Holy Week

Evidence

On the days of Lamentation and on Passion Sunday they [Saracens and Jews] shall not appear in public at all, because some of them on such days, so we have heard, do not blush to parade in their most elegant clothes and are not afraid to ridicule the Christians, who exhibit a memorial of the most holy Passion and display signs of grief. What we most strictly forbid is for them to venture to burst out at all in derision of the Redeemer. And as we ought not to ignore the insulting of Him who atoned for our sins, we order secular rulers to inflict condign punishment upon those who so venture, to restrain them from daring at all to blaspheme Him who was crucified for us. — John V. Tolan, Saracens, 1014

Categorization

• ADDENDUM: Connects to ‘Complaints About Immodesty Go Way Back’ — the elegant-clothes parade on Passion Sunday is a cross-cultural dress-and-identity-symbolism case, and to the general pattern of sumptuary/marker legislation.
• SEED: Angle: dress codes as confessional boundary enforcement — how medieval church law used clothing badges (wheel-shaped for Jews) and public exclusion to police religious identity, useful for an essay on identity signaling.
• XREF: connects to: The medieval Church formally banned the Muslim call to prayer on Christian territory — Norman Daniel, Islam and the West, 1154
